I need a break after yesterday’s post so today I’ll just mention something curious.

I grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota; Rapid City, to be specific. I recall some interesting terminology. I could travel back east to Sioux Falls,  up to Custer (higher elevation), out to Yellowstone (west), up to Sturgis (north), down to Hot Springs (south), down to the Badlands (lower and southeast) or over to Pierre (east). When I was done at any of those places, I would travel back to Rapid.
